These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
Together, they make up the Eggheads, | 0:00:10 | 0:00:11 | |
arguably the most formidable quiz team | 0:00:11 | 0:00:13 | |
in the country. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:14 | |
The question is, can they be beaten? | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:31 | |
They are the Eggheads. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
And challenging our resident quiz champions today are | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
Nott So Smart, from Nottinghamshire. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
Now, this team of friends and family share a passion for walking, | 0:00:39 | 0:00:43 | |
and they also attend a fundraising quiz twice a year at their | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
local village hall together. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:47 | |
Let's meet them. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
I'm John, I'm 70, and I'm an author. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
Hi, I'm Chris, I'm 45, and I'm a pensions consultant. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:56 | |
Hi, I'm Craig, I'm 43, and I'm a project manager. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:00 | |
Hi, I'm Phil, I'm 64, and I'm a retired IT project manager. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:05 | |
Hi, I'm Steve, 46, and I'm an IT business analyst. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:09 | |
-John and team, welcome. -ALL: -Thank you. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
Great to see you. I should say that Nott So Smart ha... | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
-There's two "T"s in "Nott", so... -ALL: -Yes. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
-That's right, yes. -Yeah. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:17 | |
So, you've got the confidence to take on and take down | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
the Eggheads here, I hope. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
THEY LAUGH Well, the idea is that we're so smart | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
but more than likely, not so smart. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
So tell me about the walk that you do, first of all. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
Well, we started, I think, Jeremy, in about 1990, | 0:01:29 | 0:01:33 | |
and we do roughly a 100-mile long-distance trail each year. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:38 | |
And we choose one, you know, to go for | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
depending on how difficult or easy the previous year has been. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
Does it end where it began or do you just go in a straight line | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
and get picked up? | 0:01:46 | 0:01:47 | |
No, usually...usually, we have to work all the logistics out | 0:01:47 | 0:01:51 | |
which can be very tricky. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:52 | |
I suppose it's a good chance | 0:01:53 | 0:01:54 | |
of getting away from work and stress, and... | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
-It is the best. -It is the best. -It is the best. -Yeah. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
Tell us about the quiz. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
Well, it's a quiz that's put together by the local village hall, | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
and it's a mixture really of words and pictorials, | 0:02:04 | 0:02:08 | |
and it's fairly...fairly lightweight. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:12 | |
We take it... We don't take it too seriously, | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
we don't even compete for a prize | 0:02:14 | 0:02:15 | |
but just really on a...I guess of trying to get to be the top team. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:20 | |
Here, as you know, it is rather different. There is a prize. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
In fact, every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
for our challengers. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, | 0:02:27 | 0:02:28 | |
the prize money rolls over to the next show. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
So, Nott So Smart, | 0:02:31 | 0:02:32 | |
the Eggheads came a cropper in the last game. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
And that means... | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
A - it can be done, | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
B - that £1,000 is on the table now | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
to say you can't beat them. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Music. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
Who would like this? | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
-THEY CONFER: -Who are we going for? | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
Well, who are we going to do for Music? | 0:02:52 | 0:02:53 | |
-Steve? -I'm not so good at music. -Chris doesn't want it? | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
-Chris, what about you? -Chris... | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
-Do you want me to take it? -Yeah, go on. -OK. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
-Chris? OK. -Yeah, I'll take it. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:03 | |
Chris, which Egghead would you like to take on? | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
-(..Go for Dave.) -Dave? -Yeah. -OK. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
Dave. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
Right. So, Chris from Nott So Smart | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
versus the very smart, | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
in fact the Tremendous Knowledge Dave | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
on the end there. To ensure there's no conferring, | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
would you please take your positions in the Question Room? | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
Chris, what kind of music do you hope comes up | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
in this very wide-ranging round? | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
Well, I'm hoping for sort of... | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
I guess my era was rock music, um... | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
'80s. '80s and '90s, I guess, probably. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
So, I'm hoping we're not too modern and not too old, I guess. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
Indeed. So, Chris, you can choose, | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
the first or second set of questions? | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
I'll go for the first set, please. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:43 | |
Here we go. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
In which year did Boyzone have their first UK number one single | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
with the song Words? | 0:03:52 | 0:03:53 | |
Right. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:00 | |
Well, I like this song actually, um... | 0:04:00 | 0:04:02 | |
And I'm trying to think. I Was... I'm pretty sure I was... | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
I'd left university, I think, when this came out. Um... | 0:04:07 | 0:04:11 | |
I'm going to go... | 0:04:11 | 0:04:13 | |
I think I'm drawn towards 2004. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:15 | |
First UK number one single - no, not 2004. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
It was actually quite a bit earlier - 1996, | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
for Boyzone. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
Dave, your question. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:24 | |
Which vocalist started a long career as lead singer with Judas Priest | 0:04:24 | 0:04:28 | |
when he joined them in 1973? | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
Well, Marc Bolan's T. Rex, Les Gray's Mud. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:38 | |
Rob Halford is Judas Priest. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:40 | |
Rob Halford is correct. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
Yes. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:44 | |
Chris, second question. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:46 | |
Which band's second album, released in 1999 | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
has the title Agaetis Byrjun, | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
which roughly translates as "a good beginning"? | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
Right, um, well, | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
I don't think it's Runrig. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
I've got one of the Runrig albums, I don't think... | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
I don't think it's Runrig. Um... | 0:05:09 | 0:05:11 | |
I think I'm going to go for Clannad. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:14 | |
That's wrong. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:15 | |
The answer is Sigur Ros. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:17 | |
But what's the... What's the coun... | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
-They're Danes, are they? -Icelandic, I think. -Icelandic. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
-Icelandic, Icelandic. -Ah, that was... | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
So, Sigur Ros is the right answer. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
So, Dave, if you get this one right you're in the final round. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
Erich Korngold is widely regarded | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
as one of the greatest exponents of which field of music? | 0:05:30 | 0:05:33 | |
Hm. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:39 | |
I don't know. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:40 | |
Um... | 0:05:40 | 0:05:41 | |
Chamber music and stage musicals aren't jumping out at me, | 0:05:42 | 0:05:45 | |
but film scores... | 0:05:45 | 0:05:47 | |
Yeah, I will go for film scores, | 0:05:49 | 0:05:51 | |
just because the other two aren't really jumping at me. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
But no real conviction. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:56 | |
Film scores is correct, Dave. Well done. So... | 0:05:57 | 0:05:59 | |
Sorry, Chris, knocked out there, | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
which means Dave is in the final, | 0:06:01 | 0:06:02 | |
and you won't be able to help your team in the final. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:04 | |
But don't worry, plenty of game to come. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:07 | |
Please rejoin your teams. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:08 | |
As it stands, Nott So Smart have lost the one brain. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:12 | |
The Eggheads are still intact. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:14 | |
And I can tell you the next subject is Science. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:16 | |
So, who would like Science here? | 0:06:16 | 0:06:18 | |
-Steven. -Steven. -Steven, yeah. -I think Steven. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
-Do you think you're happy with that? -Is this a stitch up? | 0:06:22 | 0:06:24 | |
No, no, no. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:25 | |
-What do you think? -I can take it, if you like. -Yeah. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
-What do you prefer? -Yeah, you answer. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:29 | |
I don't mind, I don't mind. If you want me to go, I'll go. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:33 | |
-I think we'll stay with him. -OK, you go then. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:35 | |
So, Phil, can you choose an Egghead? | 0:06:35 | 0:06:37 | |
-Not Pat. -No, not Pat. -Judith? -Judith. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:40 | |
I'll go with Judith. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:41 | |
Okey-dokey. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:42 | |
Phil from Nott So Smart against Judith on Science. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:46 | |
-On Science, yes. -To ensure there's no conferring, | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
please take your positions in our Question Room. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
OK, well, good luck in this round. It is science. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
Phil, are you going first or second? | 0:06:54 | 0:06:56 | |
I will go first, please. | 0:06:56 | 0:06:57 | |
And here we go. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:02 | |
For what does the letter 'R' stand in the medical condition | 0:07:02 | 0:07:04 | |
commonly known as RSI? | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
I think that's a fairly straightforward one for me. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
I'll go straight down the middle, and that's repetitive. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:16 | |
Yes indeed. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:17 | |
Can you spell out the whole thing? | 0:07:17 | 0:07:18 | |
-Repetitive strain injury? -Yeah, that's right. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:20 | |
Repetitive is right. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:22 | |
Judith, in the periodic table of chemical elements, | 0:07:22 | 0:07:25 | |
what term is used for a column of elements? | 0:07:25 | 0:07:28 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:07:30 | 0:07:31 | |
Oh, the malicious gang. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:34 | |
The whole lot of them. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:35 | |
It's a group. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:36 | |
DAVE LAUGHS | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
Group is right. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
Phil, | 0:07:40 | 0:07:41 | |
in the late 19th century, | 0:07:41 | 0:07:42 | |
the Hungarian-born inventor David Gestetner | 0:07:42 | 0:07:46 | |
patented a machine for doing what? | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
I seem to think that one of the first photocopying machines | 0:07:53 | 0:07:58 | |
had the name Geste...Gestetner... | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
on it. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:02 | |
That may have been a very old machine but, yes, | 0:08:02 | 0:08:06 | |
I'll go with document duplication. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:07 | |
Document duplication is right, Phil. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:11 | |
Well done. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:13 | |
And I guess it's um... | 0:08:13 | 0:08:15 | |
I'm thinking it must predate the photocopier | 0:08:15 | 0:08:18 | |
in the sense it wasn't... | 0:08:18 | 0:08:19 | |
flashing a light on a page and photographing it. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:22 | |
Was it a sort of hand-cranked thing, the Gestetner machine, anybody? | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
Yes, think so. I mean, as far as I can remember. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
Anyone seen one? Anyone touched one? | 0:08:27 | 0:08:29 | |
-Yeah. -Oh, yes. -You've done... Yes? | 0:08:29 | 0:08:31 | |
And John, what did it do? | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
Yes, it did just that. It... | 0:08:34 | 0:08:36 | |
You literally turned a handle, and out came the copies | 0:08:36 | 0:08:39 | |
of the master that you'd laid on the top in the first place. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:42 | |
-But not a photograph presumably, some other way? -No. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:44 | |
-It was silkscreen, I think... -Silkscreen? -..process. Mm-hm. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
-How interesting. -Mm. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
Judith, which bird found in Britain is the | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
largest member of the crow family? | 0:08:51 | 0:08:53 | |
I can never remember what a ruff is. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:57 | |
But a razorbill, I think lives in Africa. | 0:08:57 | 0:09:00 | |
Um... | 0:09:00 | 0:09:01 | |
I... ravens are very big. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:03 | |
I think it's a raven. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:05 | |
Raven is right. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:06 | |
Two each. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:08 | |
I know it'd be better if you'd sort of managed to shrug her off by now, | 0:09:08 | 0:09:12 | |
Phil, but she's a good player. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
I'll give it a go. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:15 | |
Give it a go with this third question here. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:17 | |
What type of creature is the onager, | 0:09:17 | 0:09:20 | |
native to Southwestern Asia. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:22 | |
Onager, Phil, is just spelt obviously O-N-A-G-E-R. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:26 | |
That's right, that's right. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:27 | |
I really haven't got the faintest idea on this one. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:33 | |
I'm going to go with the ass, Jeremy. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
The ass. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:38 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:09:38 | 0:09:39 | |
Is he right, Eggs? | 0:09:39 | 0:09:40 | |
-Yes. -Yeah, ass is the right answer. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:42 | |
Fantastic. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:43 | |
So, well done, Phil. You got that right. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:46 | |
And Judith, you've got to get this one right to stay in. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
Sophia Jex-Blake, born in 1840, was an important pioneer | 0:09:49 | 0:09:53 | |
of women's participation in which scientific field? | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
Well, the sort of most likely thing would be medicine, really. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:05 | |
I really don't think there would have been many women engineers | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
in 1840, 50, 60 - whatever you said. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:13 | |
On the other hand, she could have had a telescope in her back garden. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
Um... | 0:10:19 | 0:10:20 | |
I think I'm going to say medicine... | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
as being the most likely. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:25 | |
Medicine is correct. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:28 | |
Well played. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:29 | |
Sorry, Phil, she is a very, very fine player of the quizzing game. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:33 | |
She is. Troublesome. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:35 | |
Very troublesome. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:36 | |
So, we go to Sudden Death now, which means you have to give me | 0:10:36 | 0:10:40 | |
the answer, and I don't give you alternatives. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:42 | |
The term "leveret" is used for the young of which animal? | 0:10:43 | 0:10:49 | |
I'm trying to think. I've got a few options in my mind. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:51 | |
I've got the hare... | 0:10:51 | 0:10:52 | |
Yes, and going to go for the hare, Jeremy. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:57 | |
Leveret, the hare. | 0:10:57 | 0:10:59 | |
Latin for the hare is "lepus". | 0:10:59 | 0:11:01 | |
And you're quite right, the hare it is. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
Judith, to stay in. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:07 | |
What is the chemical formula for calcium oxide? | 0:11:07 | 0:11:09 | |
I don't understand these things, | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
having never done chemistry at school. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:14 | |
Um, but it must be Ca... | 0:11:14 | 0:11:16 | |
..O... | 0:11:19 | 0:11:20 | |
2. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:22 | |
SHE LAUGHS: Add in a "2" for fun. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:23 | |
-So, the... -THEY LAUGH | 0:11:24 | 0:11:27 | |
I don't know. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:29 | |
So, your answer is CaO2? | 0:11:29 | 0:11:31 | |
-Yes. -OK. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:32 | |
It w... Um, it's not right, Judith. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:34 | |
I'm not surprised. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:36 | |
It was the "2" that's the problem. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:37 | |
-It's actually just... -Oh, no, it's not CaO, is it?! -It is just CaO. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:40 | |
-Oh. -You added the "2" in... -Curse it. -I know. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
-So, well done, Phil. You've taken the round. -Good. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:46 | |
And you will be in the final. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:47 | |
Please, both of you, rejoin your teams. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
OK, as it stands, Nott So Smart have lost a brain from the final round, | 0:11:51 | 0:11:55 | |
whilst the Eggheads have also lost a brain. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:57 | |
So, let's see what happens next. It's Geography. | 0:11:57 | 0:11:59 | |
Who would like this, John? | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
-THEY CONFER: -I really don't want this. -No. -You're not taking... | 0:12:01 | 0:12:04 | |
Do you want Geography? | 0:12:04 | 0:12:05 | |
-Phil? We've lost our geography. -Well, I'll take then. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:07 | |
-Yeah, you take it. -For the team? | 0:12:07 | 0:12:09 | |
Yeah. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:10 | |
Do you want to? Do you want to? | 0:12:10 | 0:12:13 | |
-Ah... -I mean, if Phil... We'd be hopeless. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:14 | |
-Are you strong in it or not? -Why don't you do it? -I'll take it. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:17 | |
-I'll take it. -You sure? -Yeah, I'll take it. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
John against which Egghead? | 0:12:20 | 0:12:21 | |
-Which Egghead? -Can't have Judith or Dave. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:23 | |
I'll take Kevin. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:26 | |
Wow. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
-Brave. -Got to eliminate him, haven't we? | 0:12:28 | 0:12:30 | |
-Yes. -Not that we will. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:31 | |
-THEY LAUGH -There is no way round. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:33 | |
There is no way round Kevin. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:35 | |
OK. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:36 | |
John from Nott So Smart versus Kevin from the Eggheads | 0:12:36 | 0:12:39 | |
on Geography. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:40 | |
And please go to the question room. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:41 | |
Good luck in this round, Geography. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:45 | |
Have you been anywhere recently, Kevin, of interest? | 0:12:45 | 0:12:48 | |
Um, not that recently as we speak. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:50 | |
My latest foreign trips were both to Germany, | 0:12:50 | 0:12:54 | |
to Munich, and to Berlin. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:55 | |
But even that's going back a few months now. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:57 | |
OK, so, John, would you like to go first or second? | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
I'll go second, Jeremy, please. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:02 | |
Kevin, your question. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:07 | |
Which part of England is often referred to as "1066 Country?" | 0:13:07 | 0:13:11 | |
Well... | 0:13:15 | 0:13:16 | |
I mean, assuming that the...there were a couple of invasions | 0:13:18 | 0:13:21 | |
in 1066 of course, but um... | 0:13:21 | 0:13:23 | |
assuming that this is referring to the Norman conquest... | 0:13:23 | 0:13:27 | |
then that would be the South East because they landed in Sussex, | 0:13:27 | 0:13:29 | |
and the Battle of Hastings was obviously fought in Sussex, so... | 0:13:29 | 0:13:34 | |
1066 Country would presumably be the tourist trail around | 0:13:34 | 0:13:37 | |
the sites associated with that, so... | 0:13:37 | 0:13:39 | |
South East. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:41 | |
-Not far from where you live. -No, no. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:43 | |
South East is correct. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:44 | |
John, Abraham's Path, | 0:13:46 | 0:13:47 | |
a walking on cultural tourism route | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
is in which part of the world? | 0:13:50 | 0:13:51 | |
Well, I haven't heard of it | 0:13:56 | 0:13:58 | |
which I clearly should have done as a walker. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:00 | |
I wouldn't say it's in Australia. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:04 | |
So I'd have to go, but not knowing, for Middle East. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:08 | |
Middle East is the right answer. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:11 | |
Kevin, which city's international airport | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
was once known as Aldergrove? | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
Well, it's... This is one I've been to, | 0:14:22 | 0:14:24 | |
so there's no point beating about the bush. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:26 | |
I went to it when it was called Aldergrove, and I've been since. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:29 | |
It's Belfast. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:30 | |
Belfast is the right answer. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:33 | |
So, it's changed names? | 0:14:33 | 0:14:35 | |
Yes, it changed, only slight...to Belfast International... | 0:14:35 | 0:14:38 | |
-Airport now. -Right. -Much more prosaic. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:41 | |
-Prosaic, and a bit more...bit more global. -Yep. -Outward looking. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:44 | |
Yes. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:46 | |
Over to you, John. The Republic of Palau, | 0:14:46 | 0:14:48 | |
an island country in the Western Pacific, | 0:14:48 | 0:14:51 | |
has which official currency? | 0:14:51 | 0:14:52 | |
Western Pacific... Um... | 0:14:58 | 0:15:00 | |
Well, again, I don't know. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:05 | |
I don't think it's the US dollar. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:08 | |
I also don't think it's the Australian dollar, so again, | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
by default really, I have to go down the middle | 0:15:13 | 0:15:15 | |
and say The Netherlands. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:18 | |
The answer is the US dollar, John. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:20 | |
Oh, hm. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:21 | |
OK. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:23 | |
Kevin, we're over to you. Third question. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
If you get this one right, you've taken the round. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:28 | |
The flag of Mauritania, that features a crescent and star, | 0:15:28 | 0:15:32 | |
is made up of which two colours? | 0:15:32 | 0:15:34 | |
I should know flags instantly but I'm just having a | 0:15:40 | 0:15:42 | |
little think about this one. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:43 | |
Yeah, it's pretty... It's green and yellow. It's um... | 0:15:45 | 0:15:48 | |
The Islamic colour comes into it. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:49 | |
I know green is the Islamic colour and... | 0:15:49 | 0:15:52 | |
Yellow star. It's... Yeah, green and yellow. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:54 | |
Green and yellow is the right answer, Kevin. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:57 | |
So, three out of three. | 0:15:57 | 0:15:58 | |
Sorry, John. | 0:15:58 | 0:15:59 | |
A Palau question...did for you again. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:01 | |
Such a strong competitor there, I'm afraid. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:04 | |
And you won't be in the final round. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:06 | |
Both of you, come back, please. Rejoin your teams. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:08 | |
So, as it stands, Nott So Smart have lost two brains | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
from the final round, whilst the Eggheads have lost one. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:16 | |
The next subject is Politics. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:19 | |
It's good? | 0:16:19 | 0:16:20 | |
What were you waiting for, Steve? | 0:16:20 | 0:16:22 | |
-THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER -Whatever... -Let's do it. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:24 | |
-Do you know what, I'll do it. -What? -Yeah, I'll do it. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:27 | |
-Really? -I'll keep family pride intact. -OK. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:29 | |
Craig is going to do it. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:30 | |
Again which Egghead? | 0:16:30 | 0:16:31 | |
Try Pat. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:32 | |
All right, we'll go Pat. We'll go Pat. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:36 | |
-Please. -Pat. -OK. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:37 | |
So, Craig from Nott So Smart versus Pat from the Eggheads. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:40 | |
So, please, if you can, go to our question room now. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:43 | |
So, Craig, before we start, I should say, | 0:16:45 | 0:16:47 | |
the family dimension of the team is interesting | 0:16:47 | 0:16:49 | |
-cos it's you, and your brother, and your father? -That's right, yeah. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:52 | |
Three family members and two friends, that's a great combo. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:55 | |
-Yeah, it is. -It's Politics that we're doing. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:57 | |
Would you like to go first or second? | 0:16:57 | 0:16:58 | |
I'd like to go second, actually, please. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:00 | |
Pat, your question, then. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:05 | |
In the UK, DCMS stands for | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
the Department for Culture, Media and what? | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
Um... | 0:17:16 | 0:17:17 | |
I think it's... | 0:17:19 | 0:17:20 | |
It's Sport. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:21 | |
They're heavily involved in things like the Olympics. It's Sport. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:25 | |
Culture, Media and Sport is correct. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:28 | |
Socialism would be interesting. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:30 | |
I don't think they've got a department | 0:17:30 | 0:17:32 | |
devoted exclusively to that. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:33 | |
JEREMY LAUGHS | 0:17:33 | 0:17:34 | |
OK, Craig. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
In which country did Xi Jinping become president in March 2013? | 0:17:36 | 0:17:42 | |
Xi is... Let me just help you with the name. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:47 | |
X-I. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:49 | |
And then Jinping - J-I-N-P-I-N-G. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:52 | |
Well, I don't know. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:54 | |
I don't think it's Peru. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:59 | |
I think it's... | 0:18:01 | 0:18:03 | |
I should know if it's China. Um... | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
(Vietnam.) | 0:18:06 | 0:18:07 | |
I'm going to go... | 0:18:07 | 0:18:09 | |
China. Please. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:11 | |
Well done, you're right. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:12 | |
HE SIGHS | 0:18:12 | 0:18:13 | |
China it is. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:16 | |
Pat, | 0:18:16 | 0:18:17 | |
which broadcaster, who covered many general elections | 0:18:17 | 0:18:20 | |
with the BBC and ITN before stepping down in 2005, | 0:18:20 | 0:18:24 | |
became famous for his use of the swingometer? | 0:18:24 | 0:18:28 | |
I don't know much about Gordon Brewer. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:36 | |
And I think Jeremy Paxman continued in office long past the date | 0:18:36 | 0:18:39 | |
you mentioned, but the man... | 0:18:39 | 0:18:42 | |
linked with the swingometer. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:43 | |
At election after election, it was Peter Snow. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
Peter Snow is the right answer. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:49 | |
My hero. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:50 | |
-Your predecessor. -My predecessor, yeah. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:53 | |
Cos I do it now, that's true. And it's great fun. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
It's a wonderful thing. | 0:18:56 | 0:18:58 | |
OK. | 0:18:58 | 0:18:59 | |
Craig. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:00 | |
Which former First Lady | 0:19:00 | 0:19:01 | |
wrote the book Dear Socks, Dear Buddy, | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
about children's letters to the pets at the White House? | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
HE SIGHS | 0:19:12 | 0:19:13 | |
God, that's a difficult question as well. Again, don't know. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:16 | |
Have to be a guess. Um... | 0:19:16 | 0:19:17 | |
Doesn't seem highbrow enough for Hillary Clinton. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:23 | |
So I'm going to go... | 0:19:25 | 0:19:27 | |
Oh, I'll go Nancy "Regan". | 0:19:27 | 0:19:29 | |
Please. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:30 | |
-Nancy Reagan. -Reagan, sorry. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
Yeah, I...I would have gone Barbara Bush here, but... | 0:19:33 | 0:19:37 | |
we're both wrong. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:38 | |
Hillary Clinton it is. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:39 | |
Right, you're ahead, Pat. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:43 | |
And because you went first, | 0:19:43 | 0:19:44 | |
if you get this one right, you've taken the round. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:48 | |
In 2012, the anniversary of which leader's birthday was renamed | 0:19:48 | 0:19:52 | |
Day Of The Shining Star? | 0:19:52 | 0:19:53 | |
I think that's um... | 0:20:00 | 0:20:02 | |
Kim Jong-il of North Korea. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:06 | |
I think it's in April, some time in April. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:10 | |
Kim Jong-il is in the news a lot, that's for sure. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:13 | |
Who is Chiang Kai-shek? | 0:20:13 | 0:20:15 | |
Chiang Kai-shek was in charge of the Nationalist Chinese | 0:20:15 | 0:20:19 | |
who had the dispute with the communists and ended up in Taiwan. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:23 | |
-But that's going back a way, is it? -Oh, along time ago, yes. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:25 | |
It's not last week or anything. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:27 | |
No. No, well, all those chaps have been dead some time. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:30 | |
Kim Jong-il is the right answer. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:32 | |
Pat, so you've got it. So, you've got three out of three. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
-Sorry, Craig. -Well done. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:36 | |
The pain of the single incorrect answer in a three-question round. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:39 | |
-Yeah. -So, you have been knocked out. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:41 | |
Pat will be in the final round. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:43 | |
And if you both come back to us, we will play that final. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:45 | |
This is what we have been playing towards. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:49 | |
It is time for the final round which, as always, | 0:20:49 | 0:20:51 | |
is General Knowledge. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:53 | |
But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads | 0:20:53 | 0:20:55 | |
won't be allowed to take part in this round. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:57 | |
So, John, Chris and Craig from Nott So Smart | 0:20:57 | 0:21:01 | |
and Judith from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio? | 0:21:01 | 0:21:05 | |
Well, Phil and Steve, you are playing to win Nott So Smart £1,000. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:10 | |
Barry, Pat, Kevin and Dave, you're playing for something | 0:21:10 | 0:21:13 | |
that money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:17 | |
As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:20 | |
This time the questions are all General Knowledge. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:23 | |
You are allowed to confer. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:24 | |
So, Phil and Steve, the question is, | 0:21:24 | 0:21:26 | |
are your two brains able to overcome the Eggheads' four | 0:21:26 | 0:21:30 | |
over here? And would you like to go first or second? | 0:21:30 | 0:21:33 | |
First, please. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:34 | |
So, Steve and Phil, good luck. Here we go. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:40 | |
Gerald Grosvenor, who is often said to be | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
one of the wealthiest landowners in Britain, | 0:21:43 | 0:21:45 | |
is better known by what title? | 0:21:45 | 0:21:46 | |
-I think it's Duke of Westminster. -I think so too. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:55 | |
And that's just a gut feeling. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:56 | |
Um... | 0:21:56 | 0:21:57 | |
-I think. -Yes, go for the Duke of Westminster. -Duke of Westminster. | 0:21:57 | 0:22:01 | |
-Duke of Westminster is the correct answer. -Thank you. -Excellent. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:04 | |
Good start. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:06 | |
Eggheads, a famous series of World War II posters | 0:22:06 | 0:22:08 | |
exhorted the British public to "Be like Dad, keep..." | 0:22:08 | 0:22:12 | |
what? | 0:22:12 | 0:22:13 | |
-Mum? -Mum. -Mum? | 0:22:15 | 0:22:18 | |
It was a famous poster | 0:22:18 | 0:22:19 | |
and it had that wonderful slogan | 0:22:19 | 0:22:21 | |
"Be like Dad, keep Mum." | 0:22:21 | 0:22:23 | |
The answer's Mum. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:24 | |
Keep Mum. Of course, yes. Well done. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:27 | |
OK. Over to you, Nott So Smart. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:30 | |
What was the name of the character played by Daniel Craig | 0:22:30 | 0:22:34 | |
in the 1990s TV series Our Friends In The North? | 0:22:34 | 0:22:38 | |
Do you know that one? | 0:22:42 | 0:22:43 | |
I'd struggle to answer that one. Um... | 0:22:43 | 0:22:45 | |
-If it was in the North... -Yeah, I mean, it's got to... | 0:22:48 | 0:22:51 | |
Um... | 0:22:51 | 0:22:53 | |
Shall we go for Geordie? | 0:22:53 | 0:22:54 | |
Um, well, just hang on a sec. So, um... | 0:22:54 | 0:22:58 | |
I'm drawn... | 0:22:58 | 0:22:59 | |
..to Tosker. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:03 | |
Um... | 0:23:03 | 0:23:04 | |
I'm not sure. You've got a gut feeling? | 0:23:04 | 0:23:07 | |
It could be too obvious, that's what I'm thinking. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:09 | |
I have no idea. I mean, I'm going for Geordie | 0:23:09 | 0:23:11 | |
because it's in the North. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:12 | |
-Mm. -No, you know, if you've got a feeling for it - go. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:14 | |
I'm taking a punt, cos this man's very intelligent. | 0:23:16 | 0:23:18 | |
So, I will go with Geordie. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:19 | |
I loved this series when it came out in the '90s. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:24 | |
And Tosker is a character in it, so you couldn't have ruled that out. | 0:23:24 | 0:23:29 | |
Barrett probably is as well, actually. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:30 | |
But Geordie is the right answer. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:32 | |
And it's very odd now watching. You know, that... | 0:23:33 | 0:23:36 | |
The reason it's great is you see their lives played through | 0:23:36 | 0:23:40 | |
current events and all that. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:41 | |
And then you see Daniel Craig becoming an old man, you know, | 0:23:41 | 0:23:43 | |
-and now... -Here he is. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:45 | |
Here he is 20 years later as Bond. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:46 | |
OK, Eggheads, | 0:23:48 | 0:23:49 | |
which of these explorers was once apprentice | 0:23:49 | 0:23:52 | |
to a firm of coal shippers in Whitby? | 0:23:52 | 0:23:54 | |
It's got to be James Cook. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:00 | |
-It's got to be Cook anyway. -Yeah. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:02 | |
-He's the logical one... -Yeah. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:03 | |
-It's not... -Mungo Park was Scottish. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:05 | |
-He was a doctor. -Ernest Shackleton was Irish, so... | 0:24:05 | 0:24:08 | |
Yes. | 0:24:08 | 0:24:09 | |
Well, Mungo Park was... | 0:24:09 | 0:24:11 | |
..probably a little earlier. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:13 | |
He was busy in Africa, | 0:24:13 | 0:24:15 | |
and Shackleton was in the South Atlantic, | 0:24:15 | 0:24:18 | |
South Georgia and Antarctica. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:20 | |
But the man who's irrevocably linked with Whitby is James Cook. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:23 | |
So that's our answer. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:24 | |
James Cook is correct. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:26 | |
So, two each. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:29 | |
Third question, which can be crucial. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:34 | |
Challengers, | 0:24:34 | 0:24:35 | |
which horse won the Cheltenham Gold Cup in 1970 and 1971, | 0:24:35 | 0:24:41 | |
and ended Red Rum's winning run in the Grand National in 1975? | 0:24:41 | 0:24:46 | |
-L'Escargot... Wasn't L'Escargot...? -That's what I was thinking it was. | 0:24:50 | 0:24:53 | |
Um... | 0:24:53 | 0:24:54 | |
I will go with Royal Frolic as a guess. | 0:24:57 | 0:24:59 | |
That's your thought, is it? What's your reasoning? | 0:25:01 | 0:25:03 | |
-I think L'Escargot is a flat... -Flat racer. -..racer. | 0:25:03 | 0:25:06 | |
-Grundy? -I've never heard of Grundy. -I've never heard of Grundy. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:09 | |
I've only heard of Royal Frolic, and it sounds as if... | 0:25:09 | 0:25:13 | |
he could have done it. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:14 | |
Last time I gambled at the Cheltenham Gold Cup | 0:25:14 | 0:25:16 | |
I lost a fortune. So... | 0:25:16 | 0:25:18 | |
But here we go. Royal Frolic. | 0:25:18 | 0:25:20 | |
Royal Frolic, OK. Based on... | 0:25:20 | 0:25:22 | |
What was the...? Which is the sense? | 0:25:22 | 0:25:24 | |
Just... Yeah, we haven't done A for a while. | 0:25:24 | 0:25:26 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:25:26 | 0:25:28 | |
No, I've no idea. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:30 | |
-No idea. -OK. Do you know, Eggs? | 0:25:30 | 0:25:31 | |
-ALL: -L'Escargot. -L'Escargot! | 0:25:31 | 0:25:33 | |
-Oh. -Again. -Drat. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:35 | |
-Again with the... -Yeah, you've... | 0:25:35 | 0:25:36 | |
It was the... Cheltenham is obviously the problem. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:38 | |
-Yeah. -It is. -Yeah. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:39 | |
Losing your shirt again. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:41 | |
Well, you haven't lost your shirt yet. OK. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:43 | |
Eggheads, your third question for the contest. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:45 | |
Which author wrote the novels Nostradamus Ate My Hamster, | 0:25:45 | 0:25:49 | |
The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies Of The Apocalypse | 0:25:49 | 0:25:52 | |
and Sex and Drugs and Sausage Rolls. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:55 | |
-Doesn't sound like Michael Moorcock. -No, it doesn't. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:03 | |
But other than that, I have no idea. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:05 | |
-Any thoughts? -No. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:08 | |
I...I don't recognise... | 0:26:08 | 0:26:09 | |
Robert Rankin is saying something | 0:26:09 | 0:26:11 | |
to me, but I've no idea why. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:12 | |
Well, he's the only one... | 0:26:12 | 0:26:14 | |
We don't think it's Michael Moorcock. | 0:26:14 | 0:26:15 | |
No, it's definitely not Moorcock. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:18 | |
One of those titles I think, | 0:26:18 | 0:26:19 | |
-is something I've seen somewhere. -Mm. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:22 | |
And of the other two names, | 0:26:22 | 0:26:24 | |
the only one that I sort of recognise is Robert Rankin. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:28 | |
I've never come across | 0:26:28 | 0:26:29 | |
Bruce Bethke at all. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:30 | |
-No. -No, I've not heard of him. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:32 | |
That doesn't mean it's not him. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:34 | |
It doesn't mean it. No, absolutely. No, no, no. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:36 | |
-I don't know. -I... | 0:26:37 | 0:26:39 | |
I... So, Bruce Bethke | 0:26:39 | 0:26:41 | |
doesn't ring anything to me at all. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:42 | |
-Well, we both have a thing. -We've both got an inkling. | 0:26:42 | 0:26:46 | |
Only on the basis it's a name I've seen, | 0:26:46 | 0:26:47 | |
and I think I've seen the title of one of those. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:49 | |
The Nostradamus one, I think I've seen somewhere, but I... | 0:26:49 | 0:26:52 | |
Have you got anything, Pat? | 0:26:52 | 0:26:54 | |
-No, no. -No, I...I've got nothing. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:55 | |
Nothing strong to offer. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:57 | |
So, the only two things we've got | 0:26:57 | 0:26:58 | |
are you and Kevin. | 0:26:58 | 0:26:59 | |
Shall we go for it then? | 0:26:59 | 0:27:00 | |
Yeah, I think that's the best thing. | 0:27:00 | 0:27:02 | |
Not certain here at all. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:03 | |
Well, we're reasonably certain it wasn't Michael Moorcock | 0:27:03 | 0:27:06 | |
who was renowned for writing first-rate science fiction novels. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:09 | |
But as to the other two, we're really unsure. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:12 | |
But we're going to take a stab at Robert Rankin. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:15 | |
OK. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:16 | |
It's interesting hearing that, cos Barry just | 0:27:16 | 0:27:19 | |
went straight there, | 0:27:19 | 0:27:20 | |
ruled out Moorcock and ruled in Rankin | 0:27:20 | 0:27:23 | |
right at the very start. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:24 | |
And after the discussion, that's what you came to. | 0:27:24 | 0:27:27 | |
And it's absolutely the right answer, so, well done, Eggheads. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:29 | |
And Barry, especially, Robert Rankin is the correct answer. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:32 | |
And we say congratulations, | 0:27:32 | 0:27:34 | |
you have won. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:35 | |
Commiserations. I mean, they are... | 0:27:40 | 0:27:42 | |
They had a bad defeat in the last game | 0:27:42 | 0:27:44 | |
and they've obviously rallied, which is irritating. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:47 | |
-It's a shame, isn't it? -It is a shame, | 0:27:47 | 0:27:49 | |
but you see how well they're playing. | 0:27:49 | 0:27:50 | |
And... Yeah, there was... | 0:27:50 | 0:27:52 | |
That Rankin and Moorcock question was not an easy one. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:56 | |
And I loved your 1066 moment, Kevin, | 0:27:56 | 0:27:58 | |
-when you said there were a number of invasions... -Well, there were. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:01 | |
We should go through all of them, not just the obvious answer. | 0:28:01 | 0:28:04 | |
So even the simple questions, they Google around them. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:08 | |
Have you enjoyed playing? | 0:28:08 | 0:28:09 | |
-Absolutely. -Yes. It's been... -Absolutely brilliant. | 0:28:09 | 0:28:12 | |
Thanks very much indeed for keeping us company here in the studio | 0:28:12 | 0:28:15 | |
and having a go at them. | 0:28:15 | 0:28:16 | |
Commiserations to Nott So Smart. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:17 | |
The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them, | 0:28:17 | 0:28:20 | |
and they're starting to reign again over Quizland. | 0:28:20 | 0:28:23 | |
I'm afraid it means you won't be going home with the £1,000 | 0:28:23 | 0:28:26 | |
so the money rolls over to our next show. | 0:28:26 | 0:28:29 | |
Eggheads, congratulations. | 0:28:29 | 0:28:31 | |
Join us next time to see | 0:28:31 | 0:28:32 | |
if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. | 0:28:32 | 0:28:36 | |
£2,000 says they don't. | 0:28:36 | 0:28:38 | |
Till then, goodbye. | 0:28:38 | 0:28:39 |
